Holly Cottage to Kozy Cott – Memories of Smithbrook by Cherie Corley née Smith
A chance encounter with two cyclists in Lodsworth one summer led to one of them, Cherie Corley née Smith, recording her memories of life in Smithbrook in the 1960s.

‘As promised I attach my childhood memories of life pre “Kozy Cott”. I have been surprised firstly at how clearly I remember life in those days and secondly how much the world has changed since then. Who would have guessed that a chance encounter after nearly 60 years would result in all those happy days being recorded? I hope that what I’ve written will be of interest to the Heritage Society. If you think I may have the answers to any missing details, please feel free to contact me.’
